Everything You Need to Know About Credits

Creation credits are the "fuel" for generating new AI content.

What uses a credit?

  • New Generations: Every time you type a topic and press "Create Reading Passage", it uses 1 credit.
  • Included Bonuses: Every passage comes with an AI illustration, 10 open-ended questions, and a 10-question interactive quiz. These do NOT use extra credits.

What is FREE right now?

  • Remixing: During our launch period, you can use the Remix tool to change the grade level or language of an existing passage for FREE.
  • Browsing: Searching and reading the public library of 500+ teacher-made passages uses zero credits.

When do they reset?

  • Free Plan: 1 credit per month. Resets on the 1st of every calendar month.
  • Paid Plans: Weekly quotas reset every Monday at midnight (UTC).
